Layla approved kitty litter… Maizy cat litter
*we were sent some Maizy cat litter to try, all words and opinions are our own* Yes, this is a blog post about cat litter. Obviously, if you don’t have, or ever have any intention of having a cat, then this post won’t be that exciting for you, but if you do have a cat, […]
READ MOREA few holiday essentials & must haves in my bag…
I am not a HUGE user of facial products and skin care stuff. I prefer to have a small selection of firm favourites that work, and are useful, than pots and pots of stuff I use rarely. Anyone who knows me from my teenage school years will laugh, because back then, I was infamous for […]

Potato & courgette gratin with goats cheese
Potatoes, goats cheese and courgettes go very well together in this simple potato & courgette gratin, that’s easy to make, and tastes great. You can substitute any cream/grating cheese you want, instead of goats cheese but it really does work well in this recipe. You need: 2 medium courgettes, washed and chopped into 1/2 inch […]

READ MOREPicking your battles?
I am THAT mother. After almost 8 years of parenting, and figuring out how to handle two children with very different personalities, I have worked out that picking your battles, is the best way to manage. A friend of mine shared this picture on Facebook. Yes, there are some things we don’t negotiate on. My children […]
READ MORELoom band loathing?
So I am about to confess something that will horrify millions of people…. I don’t like Loom Bands! I have managed to avoid getting any, or being given any, for the children (or me) since the craze started. But, unfortunately, LSH was given a packet, on Saturday, and so now, dooooom… We have Loom Bands […]
READ MOREA Sleep Hotel?
Is there such a thing as a sleep hotel for tired parents? This is part a tongue in cheek post, but part serious… I was going to blog about our sleep issues, again, because frankly, I am tired and the sleep situation here is frankly probably what the United Nations would consider a form of […]
